Automatic detection of points of compromise

Abstract

Techniques described herein include determining, for each account of several accounts, an element blame score (EBS) for each potential point of compromise (POC) of a plurality of POCs. Determining the EBS includes: representing the determinations as a computer computational matrix operation, dividing a matrix of the operation into blocks, and distributing the blocks among nodes for distributed computation. The method further includes determining an overall compromise blame score (OCBS) for each potential POC based on the determined EBS and determining whether the OCBSs have converged. If the OCBSs have converged, select at least one of the potential POCs as a likely POC based at least on the corresponding OCBS of the selected likely POC. If the determined OCBSs have not converged, updating the OCBS for each potential POC and the EBSs for each potential POC.
